Best time to visit Kilimanjaro National Park
The best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is during the dry seasons, from June to October and January to March. These months provide the clearest and most stable weather conditions, reducing the risks associated with trekking and improving the chances of a successful summit.
While it is possible to climb Kilimanjaro during the rainy seasons of April to May and November to December, the trails can be slippery and visibility reduced, making the climb more challenging. However, the mountain is less crowded during these times, offering a more solitary experience.
